What Is Crawl Space Inspection?
Your crawl space might be out of sight, but it plays a big role in your home’s overall health. A crawl space inspection gives you a clear look at what’s happening beneath your floors, whether that’s signs of water damage, rodent activity, or general wear and tear.
We check for what matters most: moisture, structural issues, damage from pests, and anything else that could be compromising your home. It’s a simple step, but it can help you avoid so many expensive surprises down the road.
Leaks, rodents, and structural damage don’t stay small forever
Unless these issues are addressed, they will continue to grow until they become costly to fix.
This is our specialty. We take time to assess every corner of your crawl space and share what we find clearly and honestly. Our reports are straightforward, with no pressure and no upsells. Just the facts and photos, so you can decide what comes next.
Our crew arrives both on time and ready to take a full look at the space. We photograph visible issues and take notes on any signs of water, damage, or pest intrusion.
After the inspection, we explain what we saw and answer any questions. You’ll get honest recommendations; nothing more, nothing less.
A crawl space inspection is a thorough examination of the area beneath your home to identify issues such as moisture damage, pest infestations, mold, or structural problems. These inspections are particularly important because hidden issues are common and, if left unaddressed, can lead to energy inefficiencies, recurring pest problems, and mold-related health risks.
Most experts recommend a crawl space inspection at least once a year. However, in very humid or rainy regions like Western Washington, more frequent inspections (for example, every 3–6 months) may be beneficial to stay ahead of moisture-related issues.
While a homeowner can do a basic check, hiring a professional is highly recommended for a thorough inspection. Professionals are trained to crawl into tight spaces safely and can spot underlying issues that an untrained eye might miss.
In Western Washington homes, crawl space inspections commonly find issues related to excess moisture and its effects, pest infestations, and insulation or ventilation problems.
There are several warning signs in your home that suggest trouble may be brewing in the crawl space. Watch for musty or foul odors coming from below, uneven or sagging floors on the ground level, unexplained spikes in humidity or energy bills, visible pest activity, or evidence of water intrusion like damp spots or pooling water around the foundation.
